When you move from working in a bank, an accounting firm, or a corporate finance role to running your own bookkeeping business, managing money becomes an entirely different ballgame.
Instead of working with someone else’s finances, you’re managing your own cash flow, finding funding, and handling day-to-day financial decisions. It can be stressful, even if you’re experienced with numbers. That’s why First Class Accounts (FCA) partners with Swoop to help business owners secure funding.

Grants and government funding
Applying for grants can be complicated. Swoop simplifies the process by quickly matching your business with available grants. They even help you put together your application, greatly improving your chances of success.
How does the partnership help First Class Accounts business owners?
Partnering with Swoop gives First Class Accounts business owners direct advantages that go beyond traditional banking relationships. This partnership helps you:
Save time
As a bookkeeping business owner, time spent dealing with financial paperwork is time not spent serving clients or growing your business.
For example, if you need a working capital loan to upgrade your office setup, Swoop gathers offers from different lenders. You choose the one that suits you best without wasting days doing research.
Start/expand your business
If you’re nervous about starting your bookkeeping business because you’re not sure how to fund it, Swoop directly solves this problem. They offer dedicated funding for franchisees, meaning accessing funds tailored to your needs as a First Class Accounts business owner is easier and quicker.
You can easily apply for funds to purchase equipment like laptops, printers, and software licences or even finance larger expenses like office space.
Cut costs
Managing expenses is important to profitability. Swoop helps FCA owners reduce everyday costs by finding cheaper deals on utilities, services, and international money transfers.
For instance, if you’re paying high fees on international money transfers, Swoop quickly identifies cheaper alternatives. These cost savings directly improve your profitability without additional effort on your part.
Gain access to expert support
One of the biggest fears people have about leaving the 9-5 to start their own business is losing access to colleagues and support networks. Swoop ensures you’re never alone when making financial decisions. Their expert advisors are always just a call or click away.

As your bookkeeping business grows, your financial needs will change. With Swoop, you don’t need to find new solutions every time your business expands or changes.
